Demarcus Nance v. State of Indiana
22A-CR-2581
Criminal. Reverses the Marion Superior Court’s denial of Damarcus Nance’s motion to suppress. Finds the officers had no authority to cross the threshold of Nance’s home without a warrant.

Willie Rogers v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
23A-CR-832
Criminal. Affirms Willie Rogers’ conviction for misdemeanor invasion of privacy in the LaGrange Circuit Court. Finds Rogers waived his claims, and those claims are also meritless.
Richard Ransom v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
22A-CR-3019
Criminal. Affirms the Lake Superior Court’s denial of Richard Ransom’s motion to dismiss criminal charges. Finds the criminal court had subject-matter jurisdiction at all times after entry of the valid waiver order, so the trial court did not err in denying the motion to dismiss.
